The Deaf Theatre Action Planning Session convening took place 15-17 March 2019, hosted by HowlRound in partnership with Tyrone Giordano, DJ Kurs, Patty Liang, Alexandria Wailes, Ethan Sinnott, and Rachel Grossman, This convening was a gathering of thirty Deaf theatre producers and administrators from across the country, intended to develop a future-focused, action-oriented plan for creating a national network and training-to-production "pipelines" that foster the long-term education and advancement of all Deaf theatre artists.

This event is one of four convenings selected as part of the HowlRound Challenge to advance the role of the arts as a catalyst for social change. The HowlRound Challenge and this convening are made possible thanks to the support of the Barr Foundation.

All events, unless otherwise noted, took place at the Jackie Liebergott Black Box in the Paramount Theatre, located at 559 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02116.
